Etymology
Waw is the name of a Hebrew letter that originally meant 'hook' or 'peg' in an old Semitic language, because the letter once looked a little like a hook. It makes a sound like the English letters W or V and is often used in Hebrew as a small word for 'and', so its origin helps explain both its sound and its joining use.
